UFO sighted in Duluth Minnesota in 1966

Summary

In August 1966, a civilian in Duluth, Minnesota, reported an unidentified object. The incident occurred around 4:55 AM and was observed from the ground. The witness, along with his wife, described an object that initially remained stationary and then disappeared by flying upward. Despite the detailed description, authorities could not identify the object and found no physical evidence to support it. The official report concluded that there was insufficient information for a conclusive evaluation.

The Blue Book Project report, the U.S. Air Force program responsible for investigating UFO sightings, noted that no records of aircraft were found in the area at that time. This is because the local airport only keeps records of aircraft taking off, not those simply passing through. The officer in charge, Major Sector Quartel General, thanked the witness for the information and requested that he complete an additional form for further details.
